Every time this list is brought up, I always forget darksiders 2 is on it

Some people are seriously overpaid though. Kotick's severance package being able to pay for the combined total of TLOU2 and GTA IV is crazy

Correct

Jadon Schreier has written two great investigative pieces about this:

Man I've been waiting for a game like this for ages. Time will tell how good it ends up being

Everyone picks a streaming service for their needs. YT music has a large library bundled with ad free YT, Apple Music is a natural choice if you're in the Apple ecosystem and Spotify exists too.

I recently switched to Tidal from Spotify and haven't looked back. The UI is familiar enough, having lossless is really nice, and not having my phone lag whenever I open my library is great.

Then there's the other factor of how much each streaming service pays it's artists. To make 1000$ in revenue, this is how many streams an artist needs:

YT Music : 500,000 ($0.002 per stream)

Spotify : 314,465 ($0.00318 per stream)

Apple : 125,000 ($0.008 per stream)

Tidal : 77,882 ($0.01284 per stream)

Granted, musicians almost never make their money from streaming services. However, if an artist were to have that 314k streams on Tidal instead of Spotify, they'd make 4 times as much money.

Can confirm the denial. Archery also works a set of muscles not often used (unless you do rows), and Portsmouths can be surprisingly tiring with 40lb + non compound bows.

Something something acquired taste
